The Game Boy has got no video output.. and that is something most
people that use a Game Boy regularly miss. Especially when you use
a Game Boy Camera this would be very useful. So I started searching
in google to find out what the possibilities were. What I found was
the Super Gameboy for the SuperNES and the GameBoy Advanced Transverter.
I found the GBA option better because then you are much more mobile
then with a SNES stuck to your GameBoy Camera, so i chose to go for
that option.

The GameBoy Camera Was made for the GameBoy Color and the GameBoy Classic,
But It can also be used in the GameBoy Advanced. So if you buy a GameBoy
Transverter you have a GameBoy Camera with video output.
The GBA Transverter has got two parts, one is the video output, and
the other is a new back cover for the GBA. You have to take the old
one of with the special GB screwdriver that you get with the transverter
kit. The new back cover has got a extra connector that the GBA Transverter
fits into.
When you test your Video output you notice that the Image will not be
exactly the same as the image on the gameboy, it is a bit less wide
then the original screen resolution.. thats a pity. If you have a look
at extras I will explain how to solve this a bit.

The only bad thing about the GBA Transverter is that it needs 8-Volts
500mA power supply And a 9 volt battery didn't do it for me, so my father
gave me the idea of using a battery from a electric drill. I got a cheap
one, but the Voltage was to high. So i put in a 8 Volt voltage regulator
and that worked fine for for me (:.

If you want to use the animation on your website you will need a program
like Adobe Premiere to get the video into your computer and a program
like Media Cleaner, to get it to the right size and compression.
When you have edited your GB movie in premiere and have exported it,
you can open it in Media Cleaner. What is importuned is that you use
the right settings! What I did was look what screen size the GameBoy
has (160x144), and crop the image to that size. When you do this the
pixels will stay sharper, and if you use a PNG compression this will
help the image to stay sharp as well.

When you click on the left picture you can see a animation that is compressed
with Quicktime Apple PNG. When you click on the right one you can see
a animation that is compressed with Sorenson Video 3 Compression.
